Nexus 7 LTE (2013) Android 4.3.1 factory images published

Google has just published the stock factory firmware images for the LTE variant of the 2013 Nexus 7 following the roll-out earlier this week.

The changelog for this incremental update is unavailable at the time of this writing, but we’ll be updating this article as the changes come in. The factory images will basically allow users to restore their Nexus 7 to factory settings.

This minor update is likely just a stepping stone to Android 4.4 KitKat, which is expected to be unwrapped this month along with the rumored Nexus 5 smartphone.
